Hi & welcome. It would help to know which aircraft you're having problems with. Give me a couple of examples with the page numbers they're posted on so I can download them & check them out.

Also state which version of FS2002 you have. Pro or Standard.

OK. As you asked for help here I expected the files to be posted on this site. However, I download the first two to check them out. Installation seems pretty straightforward to me. I suspect you're not installing the correct folder to FS2002\Aircraft. For Kirk Olsson's F-16 look in the extracted zipfile for a folder named f16tiger. This is the one you paste into your FS2002\Aircraft folder. Paste the contents of the Gauges & Effects folders into their corresponding folders in FS2002. It will work but you will need to download the panel separately. Read the included instructions carefully.

The B-52 is even easier. Extract the zipfile & look for a folder named B52H_VI. Paste this into FS2002\Aircraft. Paste the contents of the Guages folder (note the typo) into FS2002\Gauges.

First you have to identify the "aircraft container" folder. That's the folder DIRECTLY containing the familiar Model, Panel. Sound & Texture sub-folders. This is the folder you paste into FS2002\Aircraft. If it's hidden inside another folder it cannot be listed on the selection menu or work in FS2002. Open the folder of any default flyable aircraft for reference as to how it should look. Any included gauges & effects go to their corresponding folders in FS2002.

Unfortunately there is no template for configuring FS addons. Everyone has their own pet methods for installing aircraft & the people that create the addons are no different. There are as many different ways of configuring the files for posting as there are for extracting & installing them.

Once you know what you're looking for it should be easy enough. Over the last 10 years I've installed literally thousands of files to every version of FS/CFS since FS98. In that time I've found about 10 aircraft that didn't work properly.

This is the B-52. The highlighted folder named B52H_V1 is the one you want.

Sorry. I can't understand what you mean.

Right-click (right mouse button) on the folder named B52H_V1 & select Cut from the drop-down menu. Navigate to your FS2002\Aircraft folder. Right-click in a clear space & select Paste. The aircraft is now installed & will be listed under Boeing on the FS2002 aircraft selection menu. You need to paste the contents of the Guages folder into FS2002\Gauges to complete the installation.

In Windows Explorer open the Guages folder in the extracted zipfile. Click Edit/Select All on the menu bar. Then click Edit/Cut.

Now open the FS2002\Gauges folder. Click Edit/Paste on the menu bar. Do not overwrite existing files/folders if prompted.
